Mobile App Warmup:

• 7 volunteers to share a mobile app
  • What the app is/does
  • What you like about it
  • What you would change
  • Post a link to the app
• Rubric for scoring classmates

About Class 4

Why Differentiate?

What can we differentiate?

We briefly investigated the idea of interests and learning profile through surveys in class 1. We'll do a bit more with it in class 6. Readiness can be assessed in many ways - typically through pre-assessment and formative assessment. Journaling can be used to identify all three of these components as well.

Increasing Rigor and Cognitive Demand

• A closer look at Bloom's Taxonomy
• Writing definitions
• Predicting levels of actions/words
• Bloom's for Web 2.0

Creating Glogsters

• sign-up
• create a glogster poster for a math topic, post a link to your wiki page

Creating Prezis

• sign-up
• create a Prezi for a math topic (same or different from the topic above)

Deliverables (from this class):

• Bloom's Taxonomy question examples from different levels for a mathematics topic (i.e. fractions, geometry, etc)

see Bloom's examples here Fractions and Solid Figures

• Glogster or Prezi for a mathematics topic of your choice post a link to your wiki page
• Journal entry on kidblog 684 (What challenges do you face when differentiating for your students in math?)
